Sri Paathaaleshwara Temple

Very old and beautiful temple in belur which has been renovated recently

Nice temple.

Worst part is, they have demolished old temple and built new here. It was totally disappointed. The original structure and ancient stone carvings were stunning. Just for the sake of money and popularity, they reconstructed this temple.

The originality has gone. We people never deserve saving our ancient culture and history.

One of the most famous places in Belur, the Paathaaleshwara Temple is one of the ancient sculptures constructed by the Ganga kings. Known for the colour-changing lingam present at the temple, the place attracts thousands of tourists. Constructed by carving on stones, this temple in Belur has fantastic architecture. Standing in near ruins, this little wonder of Karnataka is an understated one.

It is a very small Shiva temple but a good piece of Indian art and culture. It is very close to Chennakeshavara Temple complex.

TALAKADU

Pathaleshwara Temple is another popular pilgrimage site in Talakad. It is considered to be one amongst the earliest temples constructed by Ganga kings in this town. The prime attraction of Pathaleshwara Temple is its Shivalingam, which changes colour at different points of the day.

It is a small reconstructed temple, it's okay if you skip it from your list

A very small temple in Belur. Only locals visit this temple. You hardly get to see the tourists here.

It’s recently renovated. You can clearly see the work done here. It does have some sculptures from the earlier days here and they are beautiful.

The Nandi here is again quite beautiful. You can also skip this temple if you are short on time. But if you are in Belur, it makes for a good stopover.
